SUMMARY:Insect Pollinators of the Blue Ridge
DESCRIPTION:Insect Pollinators of the Blue Ridge\nwith Shane Myers \nWednesday\, June 17  |  1 – 4pm \nBRN – Elective  |  BREG – Core \nREGISTER HERE \nOur plants in the Blue Ridge are pollinated by more insects than just Honey Bees. In this course\, we will look at common and some less obvious pollinators of the region and discuss their life cycles\, the benefits they provide the world\, and how to attract them. We will also go outside to look for pollinators doing their work around the Arboretum grounds. \nThis program takes place in the classroom and outdoors. Please come prepared to walk on gentle\, yet uneven terrain\, and dress appropriately for the weather. \nShane Myers’ interest in nature began as a child with a love of dinosaurs. This quickly grew to include fossils\, insects\, and reptiles\, and learning from the notes his grandparents kept of the birds that came to their feeders in Toledo\, Ohio.  He has a Bachelors of Science in Wildlife Biology and did most of his undergraduate work on dragonflies and damselflies. This work included coordinating an Ohio- wide survey of dragonflies that culminated in a publication in 2024. He’s assisted in outreach and education for plant conservation groups\, Odonata Groups\, and various bird groups. \n\nMembers: Remember to enter your promo code upon checkout to receive your 10% member discount!
